The Hoys cover

Ahoy there! But what is a hoy, and why can Pirate Jake never see one?!

No matter how hard he looks, Jake cannot see the mysterious hoys he keeps hearing so much about.

How can he ever be a proper pirate if he can’t see a hoy? With his parrot on his shoulder, he walks gloomily across the sand dunes.

Until something quite unusual catches his eye.

This atmospheric and beautifully illustrated book will spark imaginations and help inspire:

  • Open-mindedness
  • Creativity
  • Inclusivity
  • Curiosity
  • …and of course, wordplay, wit and whimsy!

This vibrant new picture book from bestselling author Kes Gray is perfect for pirate fans everywhere, at any time of day.

“For little ones, the main appeal of pirates has been the chance to say: Arrr! Kes Gray has fun with this – and particularly “Ahoy There!”, a phrase that inspires his picture book in which a pirate goes looking for a hoy (and finds some)”
